Steinbach residents vote to get wetterResidents of Steinbach uncorked three new liquor licence categories in a special referendum today, Oct. 26, and by a wide margin in all three categories. Approved were beverage rooms, cocktail lounges and private club licences. The question of beverage rooms was approved by a vote of 2,236 to just 999 against; cocktail licences were approved with 2,272 in favor and 958 against; private club licences received the thumbs-up from 2,302 voters while just 908 voted against. Voter turnout was 38 percent.In previous votes--with half a dozen held since the 1970s--the results had been close. In the last vote, for instance, one category of licence was turned out by just nine votes. Steinbach city council called the referendum earlier this year after a request from the Boston Pizza restaurant chain. Until today, just dining room and sports facility licences were permitted in the community.
